"[The] American Parties have very little control over who can and cannot run on their tickets. Anyone is free to enter a primary, and if they can attract enough votes, it is very hard to stop them. And the Party leadership’s helplessness is becoming palpable." Anyone who would write such a thing is either ignoring the experience of history entirely or deliberately choosing to falsify it. Ultimately, the party, though its leadership bodies, exercises the legal authority to decide how it will structure representation in its convention and their equivalents at the state level can structure representation in such a way as to not directly reflect the weight of voter opinion. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
